Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."It is a fully scalable product with the potential to enhance our application and increase our servers. All cloud-based solutions are fully scalable."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"Gives visibility into the cost of cloud-based solutions."
"The solution helps us diagnose and understand why some resources cost more so that we can fine-tune and reduce the cost."
"The features that I have found most valuable, are the trend analysis and the budgetary trigger."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is its way of segregating accounts based on resources."
"The tool helps with budgeting and reporting. It notifies us whenever we cross the threshold."
"The interface is good, and it's easy to manage."
"We have a better grasp of what is occurring during the deployment cycle. If something fails, we have an idea what has failed, where it has failed, and how it failed to better mitigate the situation."
"I find the greatest feature is being able to search across logs from various microservices."
"The visibility that it provides is valuable. It is helping in being proactive around incident management. It is helping us to be able to get more visibility into our customers' applications so that we can assist them at the application layer. We also provide them the infrastructure from an AWS standpoint. We are able to make sure that our customers are aware of certain critical things around the analytical piece of either the network or the application. We're able to call customers before they even know about the issue. From there, we can start putting together some change management processes and help them a bit."
"The infrastructure monitoring capabilities are really valuable. You can just log on and see everything that is happening within an IT environment."
"I have found error reporting and log centralization the most valuable features. Overall, Datadog provides a full package solution."
"The solution is sufficiently stable."
"The interface and the integrations make it so easy to connect to the cloud or to the on-premise environment."
"We really like the charts and visualization."
"I would like the developers to add more features about migration, like how much it would cost to migrate from, let's say, AWS to Azure."
"What would make Azure Cost Management better is a more flexible GUI that would allow users to provide more input. Another area for improvement in the solution is its reporting. The report it provides should be easy to understand."
"It would be nice if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud."
"All the offers should be on the console. You shouldn't need to select from different tabs."
"The affordability of licenses and subscription fees is a critical consideration, as not all companies can easily manage the cost of expensive licenses."
"The solution could use automatic emailing. That would help improve the product a lot, at least for our purposes."
"The product's licensing cost could be improved."
"The solution needs an automated dashboard and better reporting."
"We need to learn more about the session reply feature inside of DD."
"They need to implement template variables into the message response body."
"I found the solution to be stable, I did not experience any bugs or glitches. However, some of the managing team did."
"The current way accounts are billed could be vastly improved - especially when involving multiple organizations across multiple accounts in combination with reserved commitments."
"I'm still exploring the trial version, and it is fine. One thing that I haven't been able to figure out is how to retrieve a report. This is something that could be improved. I probably need to navigate to a place to access the reports."
"Datadog isn't as mature as some of the established players like Dynatrace or Splunk. It's a new product, so they are constantly releasing new features, and I don't have much to complain about."
"It seems that admin cost control granularity is an afterthought."
"There are things about it that we would like to be fixed, such as it is taking averages of average. This results in data that we don't expect."
